The prevailing feature in the stock market
today was its dullness, the great majority of
GENERATORS being kept out by the fear OF tight
money which still hangs over the market. The
fiuct ia tons. except in one or two cases, were
confined within a very narrow range, and the
trading was mostly of a decidedly professional
character. There was a rene wal of the purchas-
ing for foreign account this morning, however,
which gave an appearance of strength to the
opening. Upon the cessation or this demand
Bowever, the market dropped back into mid
simmer dizziness, and the transactions became
almost totally devoid of feature. The
general list maintained its dead
level; Hooking Valley sagged r off off
Worth & Denver advanced slightly. The fresh
supply of security bills caused further re-
duction of sterling exchange rates, and late in
the day an improved feeling became manifest
in the general market and the entire list moved
up toward the close under this stimulus. Tho
opening strong, first prices showing ad-
vances over last evenings final figures of from J
to 4 per cent, Missouri Pacific being an ex-
cepton, with loss of per cent. Prices early
showed declining tendency on moderate bus
mess only, which dwindled away. and by
noon the market was very dull at fractional con-
cessions from first prices. After that time,
however, more animation was displayed, and
the coal stocks and Western Union became the
leaders. Another period of weakness followed,
but the last hour the most decided strength
Of the day. and the close was dull but firm, gen
orally at a shade better than the opening figures.

Burning Persons Alive.

A correspondent in Notes and Queries
questions whether anybody was ever
burnt alive. He writes: OF all the
strange things in history that puzzled
ones childhood. I do not remember
any thing that strained ones belief
more thar the stories of various per-
sons wh0&erc made to ha,aague and
argue. md even poke dry puns. while
burning lat the stake" The story
which narrowed me most of all con-
cerned Savanarola. I think the book
was by Dumas. A more shameless
piece of circumstantial invention was
never printed. More serious writer's
than Dumas, however. with less fasci-
nation of detail. have unb!ushingly as
serted that he was burnt alive; and
nine out of every ten of educated per-
sons to whom you put the question
would be found possessed of the belief
that this was the case. Nevertheless
Savanarola certainly was not burnt
alive. Is it more than CHASTITY myth
that anybody ever was?

TIE MARRIED STATE.
Ono OF the Strongest Incentives to Activ-
ity, Virtue and Success.


ity, Virtue and Success.
1t is undoubtedly true that single
life is not without its advantages for
some. There are hundreds of young
men. as there are young women, to
whom Il married life would be unsuita-
bic and unwise. 1t is an incxcusabIe
sin for any young man of hereditary
ill-health or deformity to assume mar
riage, and to such one single life has
advantages, even though it holds out
few pleasures. But that young man
who is possessed with every bodily and
mental equipment and marries not,
fails in one of the most palpable duties
of life. He deprives himself of life's
most refined and exalted pleasures, of
some of the strongest incentives to Writ
lie and activity, and sets an example
unworthy of imitation. Nothing has,
or should have, a greater refining and
mOralizing influence on Young man
than marriage If he remains unmar-
ried, he lays himself open to alluring
vices that have no place in his eye or
mind when his attentions and affec-
tons are conferred upon devoted wife.
Marriage changes the current of a
mans feeling. and gives him a center
for his thoughts, his affections and his
acts. 1t renders him more yirtuous,
more wise, and is an incentive to put
forth his best exertions to attain posi-
ton in commercial and social circles.
1t is conceded that marriage will in
crease the cares of a young man which
he would not encounter if he remained
single, but it must be granted. on the
other hand. that it heightens the pleas
ures of life. If marriage, in some in
stances without knowledge, has seemed
to be but a hindrance to certain success,
the many instances must not he for
gotten where it has proved to be the !
incentive which has called forth the |
best part of mans nature, reused him
from selfish apathy, and inspired in
him those generous principles and high !
resolves which have helped to develop
him into character known. loved and
honOred by all within the sphere of its
influence. Matrimony, it is true. is
chargeable with numberless solicitudes
and responsibilities, and this all young
men should fully understand before en-
tering upon it; but it is also full of Joy
and happiness that is unknown to the
bachelor. -Br0oklyn Magazine.

ties.
Almost every woman has, at some
time in her life, wished for two pairs
OF hands. because there was SO many
things she wanted to do at once. Few
take the thought to realize that these
things could be classified as the must
be-dOnes and the wish-to- be-dones, but
they can be so classified, The first
we do any way Cor ought toy, and
think they are not usually those we
worry over. except as they stand in
the way OF our accomplishing the wish
to-be-dones. There is a possible way
of lessening our voluntary, or involun.
tary. fretting about this matter, and
that iswhat l shall try to write about.
First OF all. work as systematically
and economically in regard to time as
you can. That goes almost without
saying; and the ability to do it comes
as reward for long. patient practice
towards this end.
The second direction Is even less
easy. and requires longer experience
than the first, before ITS following is
an accomplished fact Constantly use
your best judgment to discriminate be.
tween the things that can wait and
those that can not. Attend to the first
at the proper time, and say to the
others: ''Take your turn"
In my home l have two broad win

Securing Stability Of 81 Building by Bury

In many cases the recollection that :
death occurred when the church Oh
castle was built fingers on. but its caus.
is forgotten. and a new legend has beer
invented to account for it. This i:
probably the origin of the stories of the
murder of an apprentice by his master
An apprentice was killed and buried in
the wall, not out of jealousy, but out
Of Il notion of giving stability to the
wall. Perhaps the MOhammedans have
similar notion, for when the walls OF
Algiers we're built Of blocks Of con-
crete. in the sixteenth century, Chris
tian captive named Geronimo was
placed in one of the blocks and the
rampant built over and about him.
Since the French occupation of Algiers
a subsistence in the wall led to an ex-
animation of the blocks. and one was
found to have given away. 1t was re-
moved. and the cast of Geronimo was
discovered in the block. The body had
gone to dust, and the superintendent
weight had crushed in the stone sar-
eOphagus. The block is now. we believe,
preserved in the cathedral of Algiers s.
In l51 4 the spire of the cathedral church
Of Copenhagen was erected. A car
penter's assistant had an alteration
with his master rs to winch had the
steadiest brain. Then the master ran
a beam out from the top of the tower,
took an axe in his hand, walked out on
the beam, and struck the axe into the
end Of it. ''There," said he to the man
on his return, Ego out and recover the
axe" The assistant instantly Obeyed.
He walked out; but when he was stoop-
ing to take hold of the axe it seemed to
him that it was double. Then he asked:
Master, which of them?" The master
saw that he had lost his head, and it
was all up with the man. so he said:
''God be with your SOUL" At the same
the man fell. and was dashed
to pieces in the market-place at the
foot Of the tower. 1t is possible that
this may be the true version of the
story; but it is more likely that the
man was flung down by his master.

his death the stability of the spire he

Dark blue sateens and other cotton
goods will be worn all summer bnt
before purchasing dark blue dress of
any sort it is wise to see to it that the
dye IS fast This can be done by rub

white linen-a pocket handkerchief for
example. If the color comes off. ON
no account purchase. Collars. cuffs.

work. and even ones hands, take on
the blue" and this color is more apt
to prove a fast dye where it has
marred the purity of white article of
dress than upon the whole dyed ma
terial for it requires the most vigorous
kind OF rubbing to rid the soiled linen
OF its blue mark. So say the laun-
dresses.
In colored short wraps is new mod
Ell shaped like a miniature visite. This,
for instance. has golden fawn-colored,
corded silk front and back, which is
nothing more than pointed shoulder
cape, the points in each case reaching
a few inches below the waist line.
Applied to this are shoulder pieces
made either of golden-brown lace from
twelve to fourteen inches deep, or of
diamond-patterned silk net, dotted over
with golden bronze ornaments and
edged with silk cord and bronze frinees.
The plain silk portion of the wrap is
also embroidered in bronze bead-work
in special designs.
Fashion in parasols inclines to those
OF large dimensions with long handles
and many ribs. Sun umbrellas for
lawn parties, the garden. the country
and the beach are made of fancy Pom
padOur, Oriental and other printed
stuffs. With tussore and linen cos
tunes, the parasOl is matched to the
dress. For semi-toilets there are more
dressy parasols of shot and striped silk
and satin, and those also in checks and |
Roman plaids. Full-dress toilets are
accompanied with costly lace or silk |
net parasols, ornamented with knots of |
ribbon over a silk lining. Finally there
are tulle parasols banded with narrow
velvet ribbon of deeper shade, and
brought out in tints of ecru, lilac. sea
green, black, cream white and cardi-
nal.
Silk-finished corduroy suits are quite
fashionable this season, especially in
pale terra Gotta, golden brown and the
many shades of gray. Costumes made
of these goods are finished in regular
tailor fashion, with short English jack
cts Substituted on the edges. and
with hammered metal buttons
Of good size. A few stylish suits Of
